Raymond with his horse Troy was the perfect driver/guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed our hour tour to Ross Castle via the Killarney National Park.

David was a delightful cart guide. He was cheerful with many jokes and took good care of Vinny our horse. We enjoyed the ride through the park to Ross castle and back. It was easy to find the start spot. Great value and good fun.

We had a wonderful experience on the Killarney Jaunting Cars with our fantastic driver, Mickey, who was particularly attentive and helpful with our daughter Alice and her friend Jordan, who are both young adults with disabilities. He made it extra fun than usual and added to the beautiful experience in the national park and at the castle and lake. We would have loved to give Mickey a big tip but we had no Euros as we are just using a card whilst here in Ireland for just a few days, but thanks heaps for the great experience

It was very short but absolutely beautiful. We didn’t get our jarveys name but he told us all about the wildlife and flora. Some history and his beautiful horse Bailey.

Wonderful experience! The driver, Michael, and horse, Big John, are all excellent guides! Michael was so knowledgeable, and entertaining, and he made sure we are able to take great photos. Highly recommend this!

Wonderful experience with Michael and Big John (our cart horse). Tour around the grounds was well paced and Michael is an excellent companion, sharing a bit of folklore (and the famous Irish wit)!
